Network for Animals are true champions for those who have no voice, working tirelessly across the globe to end animal cruelty. This year, their support has been a cornerstone of Nowzad’s operations in both Ukraine and Afghanistan.

In the face of ongoing conflict, NFA has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us. Their generosity has powered our food distribution programme in Ukraine, ensuring that thousands of hungry animals in war-torn areas don't go forgotten. They have also supported our Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return programmes in dangerous frontline regions, preventing a crisis of stray populations and keeping communities safe.

Back in Afghanistan, the heat of the summer brought one of our biggest logistical challenges yet: relocating our entire veterinary hospital and donkey sanctuary across Kabul. Moving an entire clinic and dozens of rescued donkeys is no small feat! Thanks to NFA’s support by way of funding essentials like stable flooring, solar power upgrade, a new autoclave, a large animal surgery suite and even heaters for this winter, we successfully moved into our new homes!

To everyone at Network for Animals, all our other incredible partners and this incredible donor community we’re part of — Happy Christmas to you all! 

Here’s to saving even more lives together in 2026!
